Isn’t that just the “stock” storage room? Where are you from that that’s not the normal for grocery store? Like they have all the products back there and they push them out from that side.
I’m from the US and most grocery stores I’ve been to have so much stuff piled on the shelves you can’t really see inside. I was maybe 20 or so the first time I saw a person walking around back there and was quite surprised.
The highway gas pump store in Aarschot, Belgium, used to have this. Easy FIFO. You just add stuff from the back and push what’s already inside to the front.
A bar that I worked in uses to have a similar system but not with glass doors.
Yeah this is mildly interesting because the lights are on. You load from the rear so old stuff is up front. It’s also a refrigerator in the back, so if you were to load from the front, you’d be leaving the door open and letting cold air out.
To be fair, it’s not like I’m going to every store I pass, at least in the Coop, ICA and Hemkop’s I’ve been frequenting in Sthlm, I’ve never seen anything like that.

Yep. Standard dairy cold storage. At least in the US.

Just wait till you go to a Costco or Sam’s and see them driving a forklift in there. 😀
I’ve never seen anything like that in Europe.
This arrangement feels like the default in Denmark.

Might be why it’s in “mildly interesting.”
I have always found this mildly interesting!
Go ahead and downvote, I’m not the idiot here
Nobody’s an idiot here. This is just one of those 1/10,000 moments or whatever where somebody learns something new for the first time.
It should always be celebrated, not ridiculed!
And yet, saying it was indeed mildly interesting received a downvote.
That’s the idiot I’m calling out.
You asked for downvotes. Don’t be surprised when it happens.
I don’t mind!
You got exactly what you asked for homie
I really don’t mind! Downvote away

Seeing as no one actually answered you. This is in Sweden and it is indeed not common to see.
